| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II faces right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend 'ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 50 DOLLARS' arcs around the upper field, with the engraver's initials 'IRB' appearing below the portrait truncation. The design is executed in a refined, realistic style characteristic of late 20th and early 21st century Commonwealth coinage. |

| Reverse description | Three stylised dolphins are depicted in a symmetrical composition: a larger central dolphin faces upward with its tail at the base, flanked by two smaller dolphins curving outward to either side, all rendered in a decorative indigenous-inspired dot-pattern style. The central dolphin and surrounding splash elements are highlighted with vivid blue colour applied by pad printing technique, creating a striking contrast against the polished platinum field. The arc legend 'DISCOVER AUSTRALIA' runs along the upper rim, while the lower field bears the inscriptions '2009 DOLPHIN 1/2 OZ 9995 PLATINUM' arranged along the bottom border. The overall design is part of the Perth Mint's Discover Australia series celebrating Australian wildlife. |
